Funcom has opened the first part of the Buddy key program for Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures. Everybody who has purchased a Collector's Edition can now invite up to five friends, who can try the game for seven days without purchasing a retail box. The invitation process is easy. You need to log-in to your account pages here and choose "Buddy program". Follow the on-screen instructions, and then write a personal message to your friends if you so desire. It is recommended that you lend your install DVDs to your buddy to get him or her ready to play as fast as possible. Alternatively your buddy will be offered a $2,99/€2,99 client download with 3 additional days of playtime to cover the download time.
